Hey wuts up, I'm plannin on ghetto a camcorder just to screw around and make some short edits for next season. I'm basically a red neck when it comes to technical stuff like this, any of ya'll got a good idea on a starter camcorder that's got good res easy to use light compact and basically all in all gonna be easy for me to use? I realize I could dump huge coin and get a fish bowl lense n stuff but I'm jus doing this for fun. Anyways thx for ne help.
